As of January 13, 2006 and
For the Period July 1, 2005 to January 13, 2006

NOTE 1 - General Description of Plan                                                                                                      

The following description of the Pepco Holdings, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan for Management Employees provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

The Pepco Holdings, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan for Management Employees (the "Plan") is a defined contribution employee benefit plan established by Potomac Electric Power Company (the "Company" or "Pepco") effective July 1, 1981. The Plan permits participation by full-time management employees of the Company and its subsidiaries at date of employment. Effective January 1, 2005, the Company began to make matching contribution upon employees participation in the Plan, prior to that date no matching contribution was made until the employees completed one year of service. Participation in the Plan is voluntary. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

As of January 1, 2005, participants are 100% vested and have a nonforfeitable interest, in their own contributions, and in the Pepco Holdings, Inc. ("PHI") Company matching contributions, including any earnings or losses thereon. This includes contributions made prior to and after January 1, 2005. The Plan allows participants to diversify their vested Company Matching Contributions regardless of age or years of participation in the Plan.

Plan Merger - Effective January 13, 2006

In August 2005, an amendment was approved to merge the Plan and three other existing PHI Savings Plans, into a single Plan with Vanguard as the trustee and recordkeeper. In October 2005, amendments were approved to structure the plans with a single Master Plan and five sub plans (Management, Local 1900, Local 1238, Local 1307, Local 210 and Local 210-5).

In connection with this change, effective January 13, 2006, all assets in the Plan were merged into the Pepco Holdings, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan and transferred to the newly appointed Trustee and are reflected on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits as Plan Merger Transfers.

Designation of Trustee:

The Plan's Trustee is Fidelity Management Trust Company ("Fidelity") of Boston, MA. The Plan's investments are held in a trust account at Fidelity and consist of a specific interest in the Pepco Retirement Savings Plan Master Trust ("the Trust"). The Trust also includes the investment assets of the Potomac Electric Power Company Savings Plan for Bargaining Unit Employees.

As of January 13, 2006 and
For the Period July 1, 2005 to January 13, 2006

Designation of Recordkeeper:

Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company serves as the Plan's recordkeeper.

Contributions and Investment Elections:

Each participant may elect to contribute, through payroll redirection or deductions, from 1% to 6% (basic contribution), in multiples of 1%, of their annual rate of salary as basic contributions to the Plan. Participants making the maximum 6% basic contribution may elect to contribute an additional 1% to 44% of their annual rate of salary, in multiples of 1%, as supplemental contributions to the Plan. Participants may contribute savings under the Cash or Deferred Arrangement ("CODA") within the meaning of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, up to a maximum of $14,000 per calendar year (effective January 1, 2005) and/or after-tax ("Thrift") elections. The maximum for calendar year 2006, beginning January 1, 2006, was $15,000. In addition, catch-up contributions are allowed to participants who are at least 50 years of age by the end of the calendar year and have contributed the lesser of Plan or statutory maximums to the Plan. In accordance with The Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001, the Plan allows additional catch up pre-tax contributions of up to $4,000 in 2005 and $5,000 in 2006.

The sum of the elected percentages for CODA and Thrift contributions and the Company matching contributions may not exceed 50% of a participant's annual salary. A participant is prohibited from making elective contributions to the Plan for one year following a hardship withdrawal. Eligible rollover contributions are permitted from other employer-sponsored plans.

The Company contributes to the Plan by matching the participant's basic (first 6%) contributions. The Company contributes either cash, which is used exclusively for the purchase of Company common stock in a timely manner after date of receipt, or Company common stock. Effective January 1, 2005 the Company matches 100% of the first 3% employee contribution, and 50% of the next 3% employee contribution. Participants' supplemental contributions are not matched by the Company.

Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contributions and allocations of (a) the Company's contribution and (b) Plan earnings (losses), and charged with an allocation of certain administration expenses. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined in the Pepco Retirement Savings Plan Master Trust ("Master Trust") Agreement.

Participants may elect to have their contributions invested, in multiples of 1%, in one or more of the available investment funds. The available investment funds are the Pepco Holdings Stock Fund, a Stable Value Fund and a variety of mutual funds of the following asset type: Income, Balanced, Growth & Income, Growth, International and Asset Allocation.

The investment options were selected by the PHI Investment Committee and are intended to provide diversified categories of investments with different risk and return characteristics that will enable participants to create an investment portfolio to meet their individual goals, depending on the level of risk they are willing to accept.

Effective July 1, 1998, the U.S. Savings Bond Fund was closed to any new contributions to the fund.

As of January 13, 2006 and
For the Period July 1, 2005 to January 13, 2006

Participants can transfer all or part of their contribution balance and related earnings in any fund to any other fund with the exception of the U.S. Savings Bond Fund. Participants may change the allocation of their future contributions among the funds at any time.

Distributions and Withdrawals:

Participants who are eligible to retire under the Company's General Retirement Plan may elect to have their Savings Plan balances remain in the Plan and have their balances paid to them annually over a period of ten years or their projected life expectancy (or joint life expectancy of the employee and spouse). Consistent with IRS regulations, there are mandatory distributions after age 70-1/2.

Distributions from the Pepco Holdings Stock Fund are made in shares of Company common stock unless the participant elects to receive cash. Savings bonds purchased with CODA or Thrift contributions are reinvested at maturity and can only be withdrawn from the Plan upon termination of employment or attainment of age 59 1/2. U.S. Savings Bond Funds are distributed in cash or bonds as elected by the employee. Distributions from any of the other Plan funds are made in cash.

Loan to Participants:

Loans are available to participants from amounts attributable to CODA contributions, subject to U.S. Department of Labor and Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") limitations. The Plan requires that a minimum of $1,000 be borrowed by a participant. The number and amount of loans allowed to a participant are restricted by the Plan and are consistent with IRS regulations. A participant can have up to four loans outstanding at any time with maximum term lengths of five years, or 30 years for a primary residence. The prevailing prime rate is applied as the interest rate for the loan. Loan repayments are made through payroll deductions. Upon termination from the Company, a participant can elect to continue to make loan repayments. If the loan repayments are not made for a period of three months, the loan is in default and is converted to a distribution. A one time per loan fee of $50 is deducted from the participant's account with Fidelity at the time of distribution.

Plan Administration and Termination:

The Plan is administered by an Administrative Board which is appointed by the Company's Chief Executive Officer. All contributions to the Plan are held in trust by Fidelity, the Plan Trustee, for the exclusive benefit of the participants. The Company generally pays the Trustee fees and other administrative expenses of the Plan, while the participant pays the brokerage fees, investment management fees and other investment transaction costs.

The Plan is a defined contribution plan. Interests in the Plan are not insured by the Company and are not guaranteed by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, an agency of the United States government.

Although the Company intends to continue the Plan indefinitely, it reserves the right to terminate or amend the Plan at any time.

NOTE 2 - Significant Accounting Policies                                                                                                 

The financial statements of the Plan are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and changes therein, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Plan provides for various investment options. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participant's account balances and the amounts reported in the statement of net assets available for benefits.

The Plan presents in the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits the Plan's interest in the net investment income (loss) in the Master Trust, which consists of the realized gains or losses and the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on those Master Trust investments.

The Plan's investments are stated at fair value. Quoted market prices are used to value investments. Shares of mutual funds are valued at net asset value of shares held by the Master Trust at year end. Company common stock held in the Pepco Holdings Stock Fund ("the Stock Fund") is valued at fair market value, measured by the current quoted market price. Participants' holdings in the Stock Fund are represented by units in the Stock Fund and does not represent direct ownership of PHI common shares, the value of which was zero and $8.12 per unit at January 13, 2006 and June 30, 2005, respectively, versus PHI common stock, which was valued at $23.03 and $23.94 per share at January 13, 2006 and June 30, 2005, respectively.

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade date basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest on interest bearing cash, participant loans, and money market accounts is recorded when earned. Participants have an option to receive the dividends in cash or reinvest those dividends in the PHI Stock Fund.

United States Savings Bonds, Series EE, which were purchased prior to July 1, 1998 by the Trustee on behalf of those participants electing to invest through the U.S. Savings Bonds Fund, are reported at original cost, which approximates fair value.

Loans to participants are valued at cost, which approximates fair market value.

Benefit payments to participants are recorded when paid.

Related Party Transactions:

Certain Plan investments are shares of mutual funds managed by Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company ("FIIOC"). FIIOC is affiliated with the Fidelity Management Trust Company who is the Plan's trustee as defined in the Plan and, therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest.

As of January 13, 2006 and
For the Period July 1, 2005 to January 13, 2006

Fees paid by the Plan for the investment management services amounted to $15,522 and $20,797 for the period ended January 13, 2006 and the year ended June 30, 2005, respectively.

The Company as Plan sponsor is a related party. At January 13, 2006 and June 30, 2005, the Plan held an investment of zero and 2,771,896 shares of Pepco Holdings, Inc. common stock, respectively. These shares represented zero and 8,325,187 units of the Pepco Holdings Stock Fund at January 13, 2006 and June 30, 2005, respectively. The fair market value of the common stock at January 13, 2006 and June 30, 2005 was zero and $67,600,516, respectively. Purchases of $4,879,001 and $8,916,316 and sales of $7,161,059 and $12,001,076 of Company common stock were made during the periods ended January 13, 2006 and June 30, 2005, respectively.

NOTE 3 - Tax Status of the Plan                                                                                                               

The IRS has determined, most recently in December 2003, that the Plan is a qualified employee benefit plan under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and that the Trust is a qualified tax exempt employee benefit trust under Section 501(a) of the Code. Although the Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter, the Plan Administrator believes that the Plan is designed and currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code. Participants are not taxed on the income allocated to contributions made for their account until such time as they or their beneficiaries receive distributions from the Plan.
